NBL champion joins brother for 2023 NBL1 season

Jaylin Galloway has arguably been one of the NBL's breakout stars during the NBL23 season, becoming a key part of the Sydney Kings side, as they attempt to claim back-to-back championships.

Once that campaign wraps up, Galloway will quickly turn his attention to more silverware with the Ipswich Force, after the 20-year-old recently penned a deal with the NBL1 North club - which will again see him team up with older brother Kyrin (who plays with the Adelaide 36ers) - as well as NBL1 South champion and current Brisbane Bullets Harry Froling.

"The main reason I signed was to play with my brother again," said Galloway, who played with Mackay during the 2022 season.

"We now have a very imposing team, that has lots of potential and is capable of going all the way [in the NBL1 competition].

"But having played in the NBL1 North before, I know the importance of playing hard and competing, which will help build team chemistry every day."

Galloway averaged 18.4 points for Mackay and featured highly on the Coles Express NBL1 Top 10 Plays.

Galloway says his second season with the Kings will help him have his best NBL1 campaign so far.

"Playing against NBL competition this season definitely helped a lot with my toughness and competitiveness and I think that will transfer over to the NBL1 season," Galloway said.

Galloway has also set himself lofty goals for the 2023 NBL1 season, including more silverware.

"Goals for this season of course will be winning the championship and getting the MVP award," he said.
